Natalja Nabinger de Diaz , AHPRA

Natalja Nabinger de Diaz is a Clinical Psychologist registered with AHPRA (the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency) and brings nine years of experience supporting people across the lifespan in private, university, hospital, and school community settings. She now works primarily with young people aged 16 and over and adults of all ages, helping clients navigate anxiety, stress and burnout, ADHD and autism-related neurodivergence, grief, depression, and relationship difficulties. She provides psychotherapy and diagnostic assessments via telehealth, and offers cognitive assessments in person.

Her practice is person-centred and collaborative, guided by attachment-based principles and a neurodiversity-affirming perspective. Natalja integrates evidence-based techniques including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), intensive short-term dynamic psychotherapy (ISTDP), DBT skills training, motivational interviewing, Gottman-informed approaches for individuals, and interpersonal therapy to deepen insight into relational patterns and emotional needs. Therapy with her is calm, compassionate, and focused on understanding the drivers of unhelpful patterns, connecting with and processing unresolved emotions, strengthening emotional regulation, and supporting meaningful, sustainable change.

Taking the first step toward support can feel challenging; Natalja aims to make that process clear, collaborative, and tailored to each person’s goals and circumstances.

Practical Evidence-Based Care Delivered Online

Natalja commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. She also draws on DBT skills training to help build emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - tools that are helpful for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. Attachment-based perspectives are woven into therapy to explore relational patterns and deepen understanding of emotional needs, which can support work on relationship difficulties and processing unresolved emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Natalja works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to tailor methods to each person’s needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as therapy progresses to find the best fit.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility, with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging available to suit different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, study, or family commitments, and allow clients to access consistent therapeutic support from home or other convenient locations.
